Te Wahanga Tuawhā-Term 4

 

Congratulations on your graduation of Māori 101 and welcome to Māori 101.2.This terms focus will be on simple instructional sentence starters.

 

So here is an encouragement for you

Kupu o te wiki tuatahi:

Me-should

"Me" is used at the beginning of a sentence and is followed by a verb. You don't need to include pronouns such as you etc if it is implied in the conversation.

Here are some examples:
Me haere- (we, you) should go.
Me kōrero-(we) should talk.

Placing a "?" at the end or changing the tone of your voice to imply it is a question automatically changes the sentence into a question.


For example:
Me hui? Should (we) meet?
Me kai? Should (we) eat?

Karawhiua koutou and have a great start to te wahanga whakamutunga (last term).

Week 1 Term 2: "kura" (school)

This term we will be focusing on places because Maori language week is at the end of the term and Maori place names is the kaupapa. To meet halfway we are going to be doing names of places.

Also attached is a word document that has all of the words from last term so you can print them off cut it horizontally so you have two copies then fold it in half so you have a bookmark-type piece of paper. The school motto is on the back with the school kapa haka logo. We use this verse as an end prayer after kapa haka.

There is also an address to a maori dictionary and a grammar site which is quite helpful and to check to make sure I am actually teaching you Maori and not something I have made up.

Ma te Atua e tiaki e manaaki i a koutou i tenei wahanga.

You can say a pupil's answer is "tika" (correct), or talk about their behaviour not being "tika" (fair/just) for the rest of the class.

Extension: 
the prefix "whaka-" means "to cause something to happen".
Hence

• with rongo (hear): "whakarongo" - to cause to hear (i.e. to listen)
• with kite (see): "whakakite" - to cause to see (i.e. to display or show)

You can use this with "tika".

You say it like ra/nga/ta/hi or rung-ah with a rolling 'r' and tahi as in one in Maori. 

 

rangatahi = (noun) younger generation, youth.

Hei tauira/For example

 

1. Kia ora rangatahi ma - Hello teenagers

Week 8 Term 1: "mihi" (greeting)

mihi

This week's kupu is mihi - to greet or acknowledge. Can be used as a verb "I'd like to mihi this table group for getting quickly on with the task and coming up with some really good pātai about today's kaupapa" or a noun "Thanks for your mihi, have a seat" (if pupils stand when you enter).

Pronunciation: Technically the letter "i" in te reo Maori sounds like "ee", but in words like "mihi" the first "i" sound is more like the "mi" from "mitten" (for flow of speech). So if you were reading it as an English word, it would look more like "mi-hee".

To "learn your mihi" or to "give your mihi" refers to the wee mini-speech of introduction that gives info on your background and whanau. This was discussed a bit last year - new staff or interested staff let us know if you want a hand preparing one to do with your pupils. The concept of a "visual mihi" (photographs/slides to illustrate your speech) was discussed last year too, let us know if you want to know more! Especially Aidan, as he ran a couple of optional PD sessions on it last year.

Week 7 Term 1: "karawhiua" (go hard!)

karawhiua!

(verb) give it everything! sock it to them! go for it! give it heaps!

It is said ka-ra-whiu-a, or if you were saying these English words: "car-da-few-ah"

Extras for Experts or those who are a bit more confident and know how to use those directional words "mai" - towards me(speaker) and "atu" - away from me(speaker)

karawhiua mai

(verb) bring it on, sock it to me - an idiom.

karawhiua atu

go ahead and do it then, go ahead then, go on then, go for it, give it heaps - an idiom used to warn someone that if they go ahead and do something problems will result. Sometimes said to someone who will not listen or take advice.

Have fun using te kupu o te wiki

karawhiua!

Week 6 Term 1: "kaupapa" (topic)

kaupapa (pronounced "koe" as in toe - "papa" as in papa)

It means topic, policy, matter for discussion, plan, scheme, proposal, agenda, subject, programme, theme.

So you could say:

• "the kaupapa for today's hui is student achievement"
• "Is your kōrero about today's kaupapa? No? Didn't think so. You should fix that"
• Specially for Judi Lawrence: "write down as many different pātai about today's kaupapa as you can in fifteen minutes"

Usage in class:

 

I would like to kōrero with you

Kōrero mai (talk to me)

I don't like that kōrero

Let's focus our kōrero on the work we are doing today
